Was given this engine and was told it ran less than a year ago. it doesn't run.
Here is some brief information:
1. I checked the resistance on the coil and seems to be within specs per a YouTube video I saw. However, I should recheck it. Please advice on the best way to do this.
2. When the cord is pulled, there is no fuel that seems to be going into the carburetor.
3. Spark plug is new.
4. I sprayed starter fluid in to the carburetor and into the engine through the spark plug hole. Nothing.
5. I checked the wires and seem to be connected well.
I have worked on cars all my life but have never spent much time working on a small engine. I don't want to bring it to a shop unless I absolutely have to. I also don't want to start buying parts (i.e., coil) unless I am absolutely certain it needs it.
If you feel pictures of the engine may help, just say so and I will post some.
Thanks.
